As a California resident, I can confirm that the laws are ridiculous for semiautomatic centerfire rifles. Manually operated centerfire rifles aren't subjected to the same regulations, so this would be a suitable workaround for legal use in CA.
I briefly considered getting a barrel without a gas block and creating a straight-pull side-charger, but eventually decided that featureless was the way to go. The Thorsden stock I use is actually pretty great, and keeps me in the clear with no serious drawbacks (other than using an odd looking stock).
